Background: Post-infarction ventricular septal rupture (PIVSR) is a rare mechanical complication, characterized by a dismal prognosis. Despite the widespread timely reperfusion and recent advances in management, short-term mortality of PIVSR remains high. The complexity of the hemodynamic profile, confusing evidence for the optimal timing for intervention, and lack of head-to-head trials, all make the management of such a condition very challenging.

Background: Performing a left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) or catheter ablation with left-sided intracardiac thrombus is considered very-high risk for periinterventional stroke. Cerebral embolic protection (CEP) devices are designed to prevent cardioembolic stroke and have been widely studied in TAVR procedures. However, their role in LAAO and catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or in pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) with cardiac thrombus present remains unknown.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is an important therapeutic modality for atrial fibrillation (AF), widely utilized in clinical practice due to its safety and significant efficacy. However, post-procedural complications may arise, influenced by anatomical positioning and the intensity of ablation energy, with atrioesophageal fistula (AEF) being particularly rare yet severe. This case report describes a unique instance of a patient developing AEF following AF ablation, accompanied by ischemic stroke and myocardial infarction.

Background: Breast cancer patients are at risk of acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) and protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) due to chemoradiation effects or cancer itself. There are no existing studies on the impact of PEM on breast cancer patients hospitalized for ADHF. This study aims to evaluate the effects of PEM on breast cancer patients admitted for ADHF.
